it's about educating our children. it's about respecting the role that medicare, etc., plays in the lives of the family. where young people's success is better advanced if their parents can focus on them and not worry about their own parents. on the other hand, you have a budget that is a job killer. it's the same thing prackthrick as the romney budget, which was defeated by the american people in november. and that is about disdain for the people i have just talked about. it's about being handmaidens of the special interest. about having a revenue policy that is not about fairness but about special interest. and i think that is a sharp contrast. 98 billion dollars out of -- $98 billion out of pell grants while giving tax breaks to big oil so they have incentive to drill so they can make $1 trillion in profit. tax breaks for companies that send jobs overseas while we have investments in infrastructure and energy here. i think that in the budget you we a blueprint for what believe in. and we believe in the middle class

i think of the importance that palestinian families place on education. i of the entrepreneurs determined to create something new like the young palestinian woman i met at the summit that i hosted that wants to build recreational facilities for the youth. i think of the aspirations that so many young palestinians have for their future, which is why i'm looking forward to visiting with some of them after we conclude this press conference. that's why we can't give up. because of young palestinians and young israelis who deserve a better future than one that is continually defined by conflict. whenever i meet these young people, whether they are palestinian or israeli, i am reminded of my own daughters. i know what hopes and aspirations iffer for them. -- i have for them. those of us in the united states understand that change takes time, but it is also possible because there was a time when my daughters could not expect to have the same opportunities in their own country as somebody else' daughters. what is true in the united states can be true here as well
